'Worlds Greatest' wasn't my favorite run but it had some great moments early on - like of course, Foolkiller wants to be a psychologist, so all the Mercs for Money say they'll help him study.

Deadpool's eating-popcorn-with-a-mask fail is great, but the joke a few panels later is my favorite.

"Okay, cool, I get why you want to do this now."

Fun fact: I remember asking my therapist about that "psychopaths versus sociopaths" line, if it was true or not. When I told her it was from a Deadpool comic book, she replied "ah, well, can't argue with a credible academic source like that!"

I have already complained about the lack of sources and character development for Jaster Mereel, the supposed important figure in Mandalorian modern history. At the same time, I’m genuinely fascinated by how he was seen by Dooku, Jango Fett and Tor Vizsla. Which is not really that they have some drastically different opinions that exclude each other but rather what those characters identify with Jaster.

Let’s start with Count Dooku. The man did a great research about Jango Fett’s past before he hired the Mandalorian to become a DNA donor for the clone army. As he said to Darth Sidious, Dooku "interrogated a number of his former associates"

So, obviously, Dooku's opinion is by no means objective, literally colored by what he learned from Jaster/Jango’s allies and followers. Surprisingly there is no mention about honor that tie-in materials like to bring in regard to Jaster Mereel even though this should be the logical conclusion as the difference between True Mandalorians and barbaric Death Watch. For Dooku alone, Jaster Mereel was “reformed murderer” who "held that the Mandalorians were merely highly-paid soldiers" [JF:OS#1]

Then we have Jango who knew Jaster personally, saw him as family and held in great respect. Whale reading the Death Watch Manifesto that at some point he had in his possession, Fett wrote this:

These are lies. Jaster sought true honor, not the right to ignore laws and moral codes. Vizsla's Death Watch was nothing but a license for murder [Jango]

Jaster was an important person for Jango - so much he wanted his unalerted clone to carry on Mereel’s legacy and without doubt Jango idealized the man.

At the same time, Jango’s opinion doesn’t exactly tell us what kind of person Jaster was, more what was his goal and what he represents for Fett and other True Mandalorians.

And then we have Tor Vizsla and look, the Manifesto was written years after Jaster’s death and some time after the destruction of the True Mandalorians on Galidraan. Tor could write anything, literally any lie and slander that comes to his mind, because there were not many people around anymore who knew Jaster and even if they were remains of True Mandalorians, the book wasn’t intended to fall into their hands anyway. And what of all possible things Tor identified with Jaster? Passion.

And yes, this is very subjective point of view and opinion about Jaster - albeit I would argue Tor’s words aren’t detached from reality that much because it easily ties up with Dooku’s statement “merely high-paid soldiers” and let's be real here, no matter how much Jango or other True Mandalorians (sources) will bring honor into discussion, honor itself is not synonymous with being morally right. But I’m gonna leave mandalorian morality for another time. 

I’m furious that Tor didn't elaborate what Jaster was so passionate about - the order and laws? Work ethics? Religion? - that he couldn’t contain passions in himself and tried to “eliminate them in everyone else”. At the same time it amazes me, because this short paragraph may imply that Tor knew Jaster from a different, maybe much more personal side. And I won’t lie, Jaster being a passionate man speaks to me, an introvert, on a very specific level (as in: not showing that side to every person around you), especially since he doesn’t appear like that in comics? For the little we could observe him through two issues, he was rather cool-headed and down to earth type of person? Being sympathetic to Jango and showing anger only once, at Montross (whom he still personally rescued despite Montross openly disobeying his orders). Passion is not something I would call comics!Mereel and in a way Tor’s words, for me, brings more humanity to Jaster than Dooku’s understanding and Jango’s glorification did.

This does not mean that Jango didn’t know Mereel well but Fett understandably idolized his mentor, especially since he was still pretty young (~14) when Jaster died and this “nostalgia” definitely affected how he remembered Mereel in his adult life. In a way I feel Jango’s opinion is for what Mereel strived (virtues) while Tor’s present humanity (flaws).

And let's not forget the History of the Mandalorians - the supposedly objective article - describes Jaster Mereel as a “deeply pious human”.

The oxford and cambridge online dictionaries say pious means “deeply religious” what I find very intrigued yet another overlooked detail. And hey, a person wouldn't fight tooth-and-nail to become reigning Mandalore without being passionate and devoted to his ideals, right? So I like to think that Jango and Tor opinions about Jaster don't contradict each other but simply present Mereel from different angles that add more depth to his otherwise not exploited character.

#star wars #jaster mereel #tor vizsla #jango fett #count dooku #look you may hate tor but his take on jaster is pretty surprising #he could write everything he wanted #that jaster sold mando ideals for money because he wanted mando to be high paid merc not the warriors like the ancient mando was #or that he sold warriors to new mandalorians for TM safety and so on so on #but this take stayed within what we already know and then jaster's passions comes and i'm amazed #because sure dooku and jango's opinions tell us a lot about jaster but doesn't say what he was personally? was he good natured or cynical #or calm or prone to anger stuff like that i mean by what he was personally #and then tor is jaster was wrecked by guilt and couldn't contain his own passions #brings a lot to think about #i wish we could learn more about those two before war but alas i doubt disney will even bother and tbh i wouldn't want it touch #jaster and tor anyway #mandalorians #death watch #true mandalorians

BILLYTELLA IDOL AU

Commission by my bestie @lovethedanielhd

Idol Tella and bodyguard Billy. I have. SO MANY IDEAS, let's see if I can write them down into a proper plot lmao

In my head, he is singing Shitsurakuen by Queen Bee, because I'm a Queen Bee fan first and an Undead Unluck fan second

#I TOLD YOU I WOULD DO THIS AS SOON AS I HAD MONEY #NEVER LISTEN TO 01 + Mephisto on repeat for over a week lmao #undead unluck #idol au #uu tella #billytella #implied #plot I have so far: #Tella is an Idol that used to hide his face (because of the scars) #but one day he received a picture of himself in his house resting without the mask and his scars visible #so he decided to 'unmask' publicly and ofc got mixed response #including threats #so his agency (this is the most unrealistic part but like is my au) caring for his well-being hires him a bodyguard #billy who was a merc but decided to stay at the city to pass time with his daughter #(he's divorced) #so he's like 'taking care of a brat? easy' #(btw Tella's agency is Union. haven't worked it out yet. but is gonna be union cause I said so ) #OH i also have Tella tragic backstory™ and how he got his scars

wait off topic if I change Cinder's semblance for my rwby canon-adjacent au.... would this be controversial editing to warn people that the tags are novel length but that i love them and also @graythegreyt pls read them when u have a chance

#wick lore #i have asked myself this question with almost every character but for cinder i was thinking abt her dustweave (?) clothing #dustweave. dust infused. something like that #her v1 outfit that has the design on the sleeves that lights up when she sends out fire. that's her using fire dust that's in the cloth #but as far as i know this is a detail that literally never comes up again like we never see anyone else with clothing like this #so i asked myself. what if that was her semblance instead. that she had the ability to sew dust into cloth #how hard would it be for the girl modelled after cinderella to know that her semblance required her to do domestic labor to be used #thus explaining why it doesn't show up in later volumes because once she gets the maiden powers she thinks she doesn't need it #idk i think making her semblance be 'she can heat stuff up' and thus making her semblance indistinguishable from maiden powers #for the entirety of the series. is a bit of a waste. bc semblances say a lot about characters right #i know there's a point to be made about like. it manifested as that at that time because cinder has always been angry etc etc #but wouldn't it hurt from a different narrative angle. to have her semblance be dustweaving. when she doesn't have any money #no money to buy dust with but a semblance that makes her a skilled and incredibly rare craftsperson but can she bear to sell her skills #when they've been used against her for so long? when all she's known is hard work and grit and sweat? when it's probably dangerous? #anyway i think im about to hit the limit for tags but. lmfao. the possibilities!!! also the association between handsewing and the HOME! #something she's always wanted but never had. a safe place to sit by a fire that she doesn't have to tend and do her work... #also like the possible tension with mercury bc she's wishing her semblance was more offensive + merc's like BE GRATEFUL YOU HAVE ONE??? #i headcanon that mercury has a semblance though. that he has silver eyes and his dad took those from him by making him hate the world #...anyway #goodnight

They're doing the Barbenheimer double feature :)

I updated my Mercs designs a little bit! Solo got the biggest overhaul because I realized my design looked absolutely nothing like he does in the comics- but everybody else just got a couple minor tweeks since my art style's changed a lot since I started drawing these guys.

Also the background is just a free png I found on Google I didnt feel like actually drawing smthn...

MiqoMarch Day 8: Favorite Job

She owes her life to these knives. They were the tools she used to carve out a living for herself on the streets of Ul’dah. They were what got her an introduction to Jacke.

She was hesitant about joining the guild at first, having been on the wrong side of the law for most of her life. But Jacke was willing to give her a chance, and she found that she fit right in amongst his band of rogues. The guild position offered more stable work than being an independent mercenary, though the pay wasn’t nearly as good. She found herself really liking the work, however. Doing “good” felt… nice? And she loved the feeling of being something that seasoned pirates fear.

#ffxiv #miqomarch #rinkah bajhiri #her only canon jobs are rogue and reaper #before the scions picked her up she split her time between limsa and ul’dah #still moonlighting as a merc because she likes jacke and the rogues but she also really likes money
